Decided to polish up the clip and backspace for some contrast and like how it turned out. Probably gonna try my hand at anodizing, anyone have a good suggestion for a power supply?

S33z3rThat polished up clip, and back-spacer. Make for a very nice contrast. Well done!

ChrisBI went to home depot and bought wet/dry sandpaper. I read you wanna get the amulinum oxide stuff which should be red or black. I wanted 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, and 2000 grit but they only had 400, 800, 1000, 1500, and 2000. It worked out fine. You want to cut the sandpaper in strips to get more use at of it and you'll be going through the strips pretty fast as they clog up. Start with 400 until it's all uniformly scratched on one direction, then go up to the next grit in a different direction until all the 400 grit scratches are gone and the 800 grit scratches are all that's left, going in whatever new direction you chose. Keep going up in grits until you get the finish you want. There are plenty of YouTube videos that could explain better than me. It works best for me to go diagonally and then go perpendicular to that on the next grit, and going straight on the final grit. Make sure you use a flat surface or sanding block on any surface you want to keep flat or you will sand a hole in your work. My clip came with a little dent you could see that darker spot in the picture. I almost took the whole bevel off the clip trying to get that out. I dont think I even wiped it off for the picture but just look out for stuff like that. I'm at work on mobile right now so sorry for spelling errors I don't have time to fix them right now, I think you'll get the idea!
